SHOPPING IN CANADA
Shopping in Canada may be different from shopping at home, or it may seem almost exactly the same, depending on where you are coming from.

Most Canadian shopping is split between malls and the Internet. Shopping malls bring together many different stores under one roof, and online shopping is highly useful in locating items not otherwise available. The local phone book can be a good place to start when looking for a particular kind of store or service.

When you shop in Canada, the price you see in the store or restaurant is fixed, but it is usually not the final price you pay. Canada has a federal sales tax called the Goods and Services Tax or GST. This is 5%, applied to most goods and services. Provinces may also add their own Provincial Sales Tax (PST), ranging from 5% to 10%, or combine both into a Harmonized Sales Tax, or HST.

While most stores and restaurants accept payments through a bank card (called debit or Interac) or credit card, it is a good plan to have Canadian currency with you at most times, especially if your bank card or credit card is not from a Canadian bank.
